Well here's the cliffhanger I had waiting for ya! He earned the badge but will he accept it at this point?

Yeaaaaah...this is the point when the story really kicks into overdrive with where its all headed... and I feel so bad that this chapter took SO long to wrap up. Between life, my career, and just...time, the comic has definitly hit bottom priority but that's okay because at the end of the day I still enjoy it.

Now the thing is...I have a lot of the assets for Chap 9, the task now is to write it! Lol and this one's gonna be thick with important story points so expect a short delay, and I guees here's a question... If I just put the entire script for Chaps going forward up somewhere for you guys to read, would you like that? Or do you want to wait for the pages? Or would you still read both? I dunno just a thought so I could give people more of the story since as you can see it updates at a Slowbro's pace.

Personally I wouldn't mind the script AND the comic because I would still read both. With the script I can picture how everything I read could appear as an anime scene and with the comic I can see how different it may look from what I saw. So both would be cool imo!

Dude, you need to find a second person to help you with this comic. It's been years and only 8 chapters. I understand how hard it is to make, I make an animated series so I know. maybe you can find someone to make the assets and stuff for you, that way you just need to put them together. That way, pages could come out faster.

1. In the story, Silver August decided to be a Pokémon trainer after seeing a Lugia.
In real life, Your name is Silver, and Lugia is the mascot of Silver and Soulsilver versions. Pokémon XD was the game that brought you back, which features Shadow Lugia.

2. Eevee is going to evolve into Jolteon, because he was on your top ten favourite Pokémon list.

3. Your team's final form:

Milly the Miltank
Athena the Mega Gardevoir
Sapphire the Milotic
Shiny Drought Ninetales
Jolteon
Roserade (The Budew at the the of "The Fanfare of the Heart")

I found out about this webcomic only last Thursday (though I've already read the whole thing, including the non-canon chapter zero, within the 68 hours between then and about half an hour ago), so it's not like I've been waiting, patiently or not, for an update, but gash, @TheSilverLeague, I see that it's gone eight months and ten days without one! Of course, I don't really have much of a sense of just how long some of the other breaks were, since I've only been reading it for the past three days, and I hadn't been paying much attention to the post dates as I went along. Still, were any of the other breaks really THIS long?

Which Metagame...?

Hey, @TheSilverLeague, should we assume that each battle in this series functions as it would in the metagame that was current at the time that its page was posted?

This would mean that it started out as the BW meta, then became BW2 at some point in Chapter 3 (exact page depends on which release date you want to go by), then shifted to XY starting with Page 26 of Chapter 5, and finally to ORAS beginning with Page 14 of Chapter 7.

Probably the most important part of this question is: does Athena suddenly become Fairy-type (effectively nullifying one of her reasons to fear Dark-types) starting at Page 26 of Chapter 5, the first one after the release of X and Y? At least that page works very well with the start of Gen VI, since it's the one immediately after the end of the battle where Athena starts to overcome her fear (and also evolves into Kirlia).

Also, less importantly (but possibly something that could affect the plot), should we assume that any comics released in the future will operate according to the SM metagame (at least until the next game(s) come(s) out)?

So about the comic in general... its sorta on hiatus because my life is so busy and sadly the comic gives me NO revenue so... until it can its gotta sit on the back burner.

THAT BEING SAID - I do still update the lore on the SL website and I do sorta plan to do... minis or shorts that flesh out the story in a less linear fashion so other characters can be spotlighted and stuff @.@ All of this is coming in due time and ties in a lot to inspirations from the Ginune War

Now the comic basically does soft retcon to adapt current gen mechanics, with Athena her fear of Dark types did come when she still HAD a weakness.. now its an actual proper phobia based on trauma as oppose to a type chart nod.

But i still wanna find a way to complete the "Season 1" story at the very least...mew
